In the GAC’s formal advice in Beijing (April 2023) the GAC advised<b>: “For strings representing generic terms, exclusive registry access should serve a public interest goal.” See<a href="https://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/Beijing%20Communique%20april2013_Final-ar.pdf" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;">https://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/Beijing%20Communique%20april2013_Final-ar.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></b></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The Advice mentions “a public interest goal.” I view that as VERY different that serving “the Global Public Interest”. It is very possible (at least in my mind) that an application for a closed generic may serve a public interest goal without serving “the Global Public Interest.” In other words, a closed generic my support a local public interest goal or the public interest of one particular country, etc. but when viewed on a Global Scale may not qualify.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I don’t know where or why we started equating those terms, but I think we should go back to serving “a public interest” as opposed to “the Global Public Interest”. There has been no agreement within the group to broaden that narrow GAC Advice.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td width="192" valign="bottom" style="width: 144.3pt; border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 3pt; border-top-color: rgb(6, 23, 95); padding: 0in 5.4pt;"><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"><span id="cid:image001.png@01D929CC.AD921700"><image001.png></span></span><o:p></o:p></div></td><td width="173" valign="bottom" style="width: 129.95pt; border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 3pt; border-top-color: rgb(6, 23, 95); padding: 0in 5.4pt;"><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(6, 23, 95);">Jeffrey J.
